YALE NURSING MATTERS | volume 6 number 2
scholarship recipient: lisa tangredi The Gertrude H. Parkhurst Scholarship was established in 2005 with a gift from Gertrude H. Parkhurst, YSN Class of 1949. This year’s scholarship recipient, Lisa Tangredi ’06, developed her interest in geriatric nursing through a variety of experiences. As an undergraduate, she completed an internship at Yale-New Haven Hospital for the Elder Horizon program. During that time, she recognized the holistic and compassionate approach the nurses and nurse practitioners took when caring for their patients. It became clear to her that the advanced practice nurse possessed the autonomy to make decisions about a patient and their care, which convinced her that a career as a Geriatric Nurse Practitioner was her calling. While working as a research assistant at the Mental Health & Aging Center at the Institute of Living in Hartford, Lisa assisted in a study entitled “Quantification of Factors that Prolong Length of Stay in the Institute of Living Geriatric Unit,” which will support the development of treatment protocols and revise patient care processes with the goal of improving patient care and shortening length of stay. Yale School of Nursing is fortunate to have a growing number of endowed scholarship funds created through the generosity of alumnae/i and friends. For more information about creating an endowed scholarship, contact Lisa M. Hottin, Director of External Relations at lisa.hottin@yale.edu or 203.785.7920.
